Trump banning offshore wind projects is why oil and gas workers vote for him.

The only way they can keep their jobs working on vastly inferior, dangerous technology is to ban new, safer, better technology.

The reality, of course, being that wind farm construction is big on labour, specialist transport machinery, crane operating, jacking, bolts, working to weather extreme thresholds, etc.

Different as from a distance but still a lot of applicable skill and team work experience transfer for many workers.
